The 130th Skye Highland Games was held on Wednesday 8 August 2007 at The Lump, Portree. The Piping Competitions began a day earlier, on Tuesday 7th August. The Sailing Race were held on Saturday 4th August.
The Games are one of the highlights of the Skye calendar and are enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year as well as the local population who come from all corners of the island, and beyond, to witness or to participate in this authentic expression of Highland tradition and culture.
Although the Skye Games in their present form were inaugurated in 1877, the tradition which they represent goes back hundreds of years before that, with clan celebrations that included fiercely-constested feats of strength and endurace, together with piping and other forms of entertainment similar to those that can be enjoyed at the games today.
A day at the Skye Highland Games is guaranteed to live long in your memory.
